*sigh*, I almost managed to not respond to any of these threads today.
Anyway (trying to say just the facts):
% yum repolist --releasever=11 updates
repo id repo name status
updates Fedora 11 - x86_64 - Updates 9,390
repolist: 9,390
...and it's only ~65% done. That also doesn't take into account the fact
that we've released ~17k F11 updates, which I'm pretty sure didn't
happen for F6 extras.
I wouldn't count new packages as updates, because that are _added_
packages not _updated_ ones.
